1st-2nd century A.D. A bronze ladle comprising a hemispherical bowl with a flat-section handle, ribbed bulb above and round-section hook with collar detailing, finial formed as a swan head with punched eyes. Cf. Tassinari, S., La Vaisselle de Bronze, Romaine et Provinciale, au Musée des Antiquités Nationales, XXIXe supplément de Gallia, Paris, 1975, items 40-3, for ladles with similar animal-head finials; cf. also Boucher, S., Inventaire des Collections Publiques Françaises - 17 Vienne: Bronzes Antiques, Paris, 1971; pp.168-169, for similar specimens. 145 grams, 27 cm (10 5/8 in). UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. This type of ladle was used for libations of wine to the gods during sacrifices. The shape of the simpulum was that of a small cup, with a single elongated handle. The material of which it was made varied according to the wealth of the altar; there were specimens in silver; some were of brass and others made of wood or terracotta. This simpulum or simpuvium is often found depicted on Roman medals. Thus a coin of the gens Seslia bears on the reverse a tripod having on its left a sacena oracieris, or pontifical axe (securis pontificalis) and on its right a simpulum. Another coin, belonging to the gens Sulpicia, displays a simpulum between a knife and a sacena oracieris on the reverse. Fine condition.

Late 2nd-early 1st millennium B.C. A substantial bronze halberd-shaped axehead with long, narrow, subtriangular blade projecting from a flange, cutaway section at the base and a knob formed as a griffin head at the top of the flange, the shaft with five projecting ribs; accompanied by a custom-made display stand. Cf. Muscarella, O.W., Bronze and Iron Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1988, p.98, fig.161. 540 grams, 31.5 cm long (872 grams total, 38 cm high including stand) (12 3/8 in. (15 in). Acquired in Iran 1967. Property of a central London gentleman. This axe type is known from an example excavated in Marlik from Dr.Negahban in grave 26, and another from Kurvin. Various examples, held in in private collections, also have an animal head added to the outside of the blade. The cutaway and knob were intended to hold organic thongs that helped secure the blade to the shaft. Fine condition.

8th-11th century A.D. An iron axehead with a T-shaped profile comprising a rectangular-section shaft, blade with sub-rectangular plan and slightly convex cutting edge, an oval-shaped socket flanked by circular plates and a rectangular butt; mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. Portable Antiquities Scheme Database, id. PUBLIC-A06518, LANCUM-085845; SWYOR-93AC56, for similar; cf. Evans and Loveluck., Life and Economy at Early Medieval Flixborough AD 600-1000 Vol.2, Oxbow, 2009, nos.2456, pp.257 and 264. See Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), reference SWYOR-9334E2 (this axe). 1.55 kg total, axe: 19.5 cm long (7 3/4 in). Found whilst searching with a metal detector in Kettlewell with Starbotton, North Yorkshire, UK. Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Report (PAS) no.SWYOR-9334E2; accompanied by a copy of the PAS report. Acquired TimeLine Auctions, 30 November to 3 December 2021, lot 1287. Property of a London businessman. Iron axes of the Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period are scarce finds in the United Kingdom, especially well-preserved examples. With the arrival of the Vikings, mostly from Denmark, in York (named by them as Jorvik; previously Eboracum in the Roman period and Eoforwic to the Anglo-Saxons) from the 9th century A.D., the local Anglo-Saxon inhabitants of southern Northumbria were pushed back or absorbed into the Viking culture, as the Viking influence spread across what is now northern England. Jorvik became a centre for Viking attempts to occupy Mercia, then ruled by Alfred the Great. At this time, England was divided into several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, including Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, East Anglia and Kent (by then, as part of Wessex). The Saxon kingdoms were eventually united under Aethelstan with his conquest of York in 927 A.D.; ironically, with the accession in 1016 of Cnut, the Kingdom of England was then ruled by a Dane. Cnut could be said to have succeeded where the earlier Viking incursions at York and East Anglia had failed. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.

8th-11th century A.D. An iron T-shaped axehead with roughly rectangular-section shaft, shallow 'crescentic' blade with convex cutting edge and sub-rectangular socket; mounted on a custom-made stand.

See Portable Antiquities Scheme, reference SWYOR-93AC56 (this axe). 785 grams total, axe: 15.5 cm wide (6 in). Found whilst searching with a metal detector in Kettlewell with Starbotton, North Yorkshire, UK.

Property of a London businessman. The associated PAS report judges this to be 'a find of note' and has been designated: 'County / local importance'.

A hand-forged iron skeggöx (bearded axe) with asymmetrical triangular section narrow blade widening to a broad bevelled edge with square chin, curved edge, flared wings to the scooped socket and dorsal bar, circular hole to the blade. Cf. Arbman, H., Birka I: Die Gräber, Uppsala, 1940, pl.14, item 3; Sedov, B.B., Finno-Ugri i Balti v Epokhi Srednevekovija, Moscow, 1987, table V, items 16, 17, 20. 901 grams, 22 cm (8 3/4 in). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. Iron axeheads of this typology show a sub-trapezoidal asymmetrical blade, often perforated through the centre.

10th-11th century A.D. An iron bearded axehead with broad flaring triangular-section blade and chin to the lower edge, round socket with lateral flanges and rounded hammer extension to the rear. Cf.

Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. This type of bearded axe seems to correspond to the E2 category of the Viking axe classification, but also has affinity with the Slavic type of axes Y. Usually these bearded axeheads (skeggöks) had a longer edge, designed to split tree trunks into planks and beams. Some of the bearded axes were known as halfÞynna öx; the neck on such a 'half thin axe' was thinly forged, to make it lighter. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.

9th-11th century A.D. A triangular iron axehead with domed face to the circular socket and lateral wings, the blade with curved lower edge and side grooves, flared socket with flanges above and below; Baltic workmanship. Cf. Sedov, B.B., Finno-Ugri i Balti v Epokhi Srednevekovija, Moscow, 1987, table XLIII, item 5. 482 grams, 18.5 cm (7 1/4 in). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. The axe belongs to typical Ugrian-Finnish workmanship. Iron axeheads of this typology show a sub-trapezoidal asymmetrical blade, often perforated through the centre.

Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. These axes are typical of Baltic workmanship. During this age, the axes were the favourite weapons of many Baltic peoples. including the Curonian army which included lightly armed soldiers who fought with spears, shields, fighting knives and axes. A heavily armed soldier could also carry a sword, a helmet, a shield, and a wide-bladed axe. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.

13th-14th century A.D. A Mazovian or Teutonic Order war axe, hand-forged with rectangular-section socket and expanding bearded blade; a maker's mark to one side of the blade and an openwork three-lobed flower tapering towards the blade; four notches on the upper part of the socket.

Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. This typology of axes (type Ig of the Glosek classification) was in use throughout Europe in the 13th-14th centuries. This axe is similar to one excavated during an archaeological survey of the castle at Czersk, dated to the 13th-14th century A.D. Close parallels have also been found in Elbl?g, a famous commandery of the Teutonic Order from 1237 to 1454 A.D. The stronghold served as a seat of the Masters of the Teutonic Order. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.
